Unless the servers can have separate channels and interface like slack or discord then it’s not going to work for most people. Correct me if they have implemented this. I tried using it for quite a while and it was just clumsy. Most people want/need a server with channels that can have categories

This is my experience with it so far. The bones are there but the current clients are all far from a replacement.

I’m holding out for a clear winner that will surpass discord. It can’t miss core features, be difficult to install, or use.

I may have to pick one before that happens, but I’m fine waiting to see how Discord responds to the backlash.

They’ve doubled down already, I can’t trust them if their shareholders are this dumb.

They do have this, unless I’m not understanding. I run a space (same as discords servers) and in there I have channels that are just like discord’s.

What client are you using? I set up a space a while back but have no way of putting my channels into categories so it’s all alphabetic and clumsy. It was less than ideal

You can nest spaces.

A space is just a group of channels. So to get groups of channels inside the space, you just create “spaces” inside the space.

This is how my discord servers show up in my matrix accounts since I use discord via a bridge.

Afaik element has it as a semi-hidden option and cinny has it by default

Just tried and failed to install cinny flatpak. Something about an error dispatching to Wayland display. The screenshot looks nice though

Wierd, you can use it in the web browser though.
